''I try to eat well, although it would be easy not to. The tiredness you experience from the early starts on Good Morning Britain makes you crave sugary carbs, and you could make the mistake of constant snacking.

'When I go home, I could say, "I'm starving!" and eat half a packet of Rich Teas. Instead, I toast a bit of rye bread and have it with poached egg and avocado. Then I'll stop; the danger is that, once I start, I could just keep going.' – speaking to Prima in 2017

'I don’t think diets work for anyone. I try to have a balanced diet most of the time. I believe that anything that comes out of the ground is basically good for you. I know people say fruit has lots of sugar, but it’s also a natural food with lots of nutrients. I recently decided to get a Nutribullet so I could drink fruit smoothies, but it’s taking a while to work out the right combinations...

‘I like a glass of wine, but I don’t drink during the week as it makes me feel a bit tired. And although I try to avoid bread most of the time, I do have lots of toast on Sundays!' – speaking to Good To Know in 2015

‘You don’t realise how those calories are building up, so the app [MyFitnessPal] helps me to keep an eye on it.

‘Until we did the sugar-free diet on the show [Good Morning Britain], I hadn’t appreciated how much of a difference it makes.

'A lot of people cut out fatty foods but end up having more sugar as a result. I’ve tried to cut out foods with hidden sugars – white bread, for example.' – speaking to Good To Know in 2016

'If you need a quick fix, diets are great. But the second you start eating normally, you pile on the pounds. So I try to avoid them – I just eat everything in moderation.' – speaking to The Express in 2018

Linda Robson

'I was just over 13 stone and now I’m 10 stone 7. And it’s mainly been from cutting out the wine because I was drinking a bottle of wine, sometimes a little bit more of a night, and sugar.' – speaking on Loose Women in 2018

Lisa Riley

'I have zero rubbish, even a packet of crisps. My massive go-to trick is not to eat after 6.30pm. Snacking is a no. In my handbag I have two satsumas. I haven't had pasta in 19 months... [Wine] was my comfort blanket of life, I was the "Queen of Malbec". And the munchies that follow that.

'It's addressing those sort of things. I love my new life, but it's for always. This is my life now and it will be like that for always.

‘I was patient. I had to realise all the mistakes I had made year after year. It was down to consumption and how much I was eating... Every single thing I consumed, I wrote down. I realised it was too much.' – speaking on This Morning in 2018

Lorraine Kelly

'Food is still one of the great joys in life – but I eat in a healthy way, which is sustainable. I now eat smaller portions; less bread, no chocolate or big bags of crisps, or cola and sweeties in the cinema.

'That's not to say I never have sweets – I do, but they're an occasional treat. And at the weekend, I enjoy a glass or two – or three – of wine! My husband is a fantastic cook. He makes delicious curries from scratch and big Sunday roasts, which I love – you've got to live!' – speaking to Prima.co.ukin 2016

Rochelle Humes

'I've never been that person who's into dieting, because I can't sustain it. I did a diet once and it was awful and made me miserable – I would never do it again.

'I'm a fan of eating what you want as long as it's good for you and you know where it's from. I'm really into organic and healthy food, but I've never believed in eating no carbs or no fat.' – speaking to Female First in 2017

Alison Hammond

'I eat more real food now: I'll go for organic or grass-fed chicken, and I love my veggies. Also, I've replaced all my potatoes with sweet potatoes. I'm just trying to be more conscious of what I eat really.

'I'm not saying that I don't eat sweet stuff, because I still do, but I've come off chocolate completely! My go-to treat is probably bubblegum chewing gum – I don't think it's great for you, as it has aspartame in in, but I love it.' – speaking to Prima.co.uk in 2017

Stacey Solomon

'I eat "unhealthy" foods sometimes if I fancy them but I try not to think of them as "guilty' or "bad" otherwise it makes me immediately hate myself after.

'Instead, I think of them as a treat in a healthy balanced diet. I’ll probably treat myself to something little every day. I eat my greens every day because the kids and I LOVE them. They’re delicious!' – speaking to Celebs Now in 2017

'It makes such a difference to how you look and feel. I didn’t realise I was such a sugar addict until I started this [new regime]. I’ve cut that down a lot, and I try to get more sleep. I’ve noticed my energy rhythms are different now.' – speaking to The Mirror in 2017
